    Just out of interest, here are the rankings so far by average Rotten Tomatoes score (Planet of the Apes not included yet, although it has a score up already):

    1. dreamdead - 70.75
    2. Lazlo - 58.80
    3. Spinal - 54.25

    4. Ezee - 50.00
    5. transmogrifier - 47.00
    6. Ivan - 46.20
    7. Winston - 44.60
    8. Duke - 42.20
    9. TGM - 40.75
    10. Skitch - 36.75

    I can't see anyone beating dreamdead, who still has Detroit, Dunkirk and Battle of the Sexes to come.

    Also considering the reverse of that, the #8 guy is in first and #10 guy is second, so ticket buyers clearly don't give a shit about reviews. Interesting.

    Number 9 guy is also in 2nd in the other league. But this does sound like a cool spinoff game we could do next season. Two drafts maybe? One for box office one for RT score?

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I'm game to play if someone runs it, but I have a tough enough time keeping up with current leagues.

    Here is the updated leaderboard (number of films left in brackets):

    1. Spinal - 62.00 (4)
    2. dreamdead - 61.50 (1)
    3. transmogrifier - 60.14 (2)
    4. Lazlo - 57.86 (2)
    5. Winston - 52.13 (1)
    6. Ezee - 47.86 (2)
    7. Duke - 47.67 (3)
    8. Ivan - 43.13 (1)
    9. Skitch - 41.88 (1)
    10. TGM - 38.50 (1)

    I was wrong about dreamdead - Wish Upon and The Dark Tower more than cancelled out Dunkirk and Detroit.
